Potentially a decent pub and the Everard's Tiger was good too, but the place had a distinctly odd smell about it which precluded staying for more than one.

Decent enough little pub just a few minutes walk from Waterloo Station. It is certainly going to be a lot quieter than either the Hole In The Wall or the Wellington, which could be an attraction. The exterior retains the original Truman, Hanbury and Buxton branding. The interior is pretty plain, apart from the photographs mentioned by a previous reviewer. A couple of the tables featured rather incongruous chintzy green tablecloths – but hey, it’s got to be as good as eating off the plain tables. Can’t remember what real ale they had on, but it wasn’t anything special. I would use it again because it is slightly off the beaten track and thus a bit quieter than others in the area.

I enjoyed myself there last night, but I have my doubts about the landlord. For £7-worth of drinks he 'mistook' my £20 for £10, and although he readily opened his till and handed over the missing £10 note when I challenged him - I really got the feeling that he was trying it on.

Who knows if he was, why would he? but his overall attitude certainly put the thought in my mind...

Typical London local close to Waterloo station. Being on the Lambeth side of the station ( as opposed to the City side ), it doesn't get the early evening commuter hordes.

Retains old Truman Hanbury Buxton signeage outside - see the photo - and although the old style 60's Truman interior is not there, the pub has quite a traditional feel to it with a decent carpet and comfortable seating. Pub was not too busy early yesterday evening

Note the interesting old local photos on the wall - very evocative of an earlier era when London was full of English people.

Real ale is not a big seller here - of the 3 handpumps on the bar, only one was in use, dispensing a nice pint of Wadworths IPA. I didn't see anyone else drinking real ale.

The Duke of Sussex is not a must visit pub, but is likely to be less busy than the Hole in The Wall and, given how that pub seems to divide opinion on this site, you may wish to consider the Duke as an alternative meeting up place close to Waterloo B R.

Yes, I'll come here again sometime

I'm horrified by Jeremiah1981's comments, shocked and appalled. I've been drinking in the Sussex for 30 years, and Terry "Last Orders" Rogers has been like a brother to me. The idea that he'd refuse anyone tapwater is a bad joke - in fact it probably was a joke. He's known for his sense of humour, he has me in stitches he does. What a lovely pub. And whoever thehop is, he's not wrong about the toilets - stunning they are.
